I just had to write about this since I’ve been doing more and more consulting on the use of new media and social networking for agribusiness. It is the idea of “community” instead of an “audience.” In most of my presentations I try to work in this concept since I think it’s at the root of what’s driving the success …
Cal Poly Ag Publications Class
Here’s Dr. Scott Vernon introducing our podcasting class today. We’ve created a demonstration podcast where I interviewed Erin who will be attending the Ag Media Summit again this year along with 20 other students from Cal Poly. If you’d like to get the demo podcast and listen to Erin then you can use this link. We’re about out of time …
Farm Foundation Forum Podcast
The term podcast has different meanings to different people. Me, I think it has to involve RSS so it can be subscribed to. To some it’s just a web link to an audio file. That’s the way the folks at Farm Foundation Forum view it with the posting of their “podcast” from today’s discussion. The audio quality is quite good …
Feeder Handles Your Feeds
I know some of you are farm podcasting or thinking about it. Here’s a handy looking little program that you might find helpful. I’m currently doing a trial with Feeder by Reinvented Software and it looks promising. I’ve tried several of these over the years (can’t believe I’ve been doing this for years now) and never been happy with the …
Podcast Audience Growing
There’s a new report out from eMarketer that shows a growing podcast audience. You can purchase the complete report from this link. Hopefully those of you who are podcasting or thinking about it will find this helpful. They don’t measure farmers (who does?) but you can pretty much expect that farmers track along with the general public – my opinion …
Another Farm Podcaster Recorder
I haven’t really heard much from Tascam lately until today. Those of us who grew up in broadcasting know them well though. Now they’ve got a new tool to make the farm podcaster drool. It’s the DR-1. I found out about it in a comment on Mindy McAdams blog, “Teaching Online Journalism.” Cindy, if you read this: “No, I am …

According to Podcasting News: Belkin has introduced the Belkin Podcast Studio – a $100 accessory that basically turns your iPod into a mini podcasting studio – just add a mic. Dual XLR …
USDA MyPyramid Podcast – Almost
USDA is almost podcasting on its MyPyramid website. I say almost because of this line on their podcast page: “Check back every month for a new video podcast.” Oops. That completely misses the point of podcasting which is about me watching when/where I want and being able to subscribe so I don’t have to go back to a certain web …
A YouTube Phone
Here’s a gadget that today’s agriblogger might want to have in the kit. It’s the updated Helio Ocean that now allows you to take a video clip and immediately load it to YouTube. I’m not sure what the quality is like but for that quick upload from an event this phone might be worth checking out. Helio is a stand …
